CURRENT MISSION Adventures! ABOUT ME Friendly gal from Minnesota swept away by traveling and taking in all the cultures I possibly can. Easy going, and up for just about any adventure....Hiking, biking, camping, PLAYING sports, having a few drinks ...oh what the hell, I love it all! I believe it's important to be resourceful in life, and when you put a creative spin on it, you can have a lovely ol' time with even the simplest of things! In 2013 I went to NZ to be apart of a little thing called WWOOFING (look it up if you're confused), it was such an adventure, and the people I met and learned from were truly lovely and inspiring! April of 2014 I went on a completely different adventure. I decided to thru hike the 2,650 (some) miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. It took me 5 months to complete it and it ruined my life in the process...because now all I want to do is plan for my next thru hike! So there goes any hopes to an actual career:) 2015 I escaped the Minnesota winter and went to Florida in search of some good hikes but mostly bicycled around Florida by myself; my favorite area being the Florida Keys. 2015 my friend Brennan and I kayaked the Mississippi River from source to sea, covering over 2,100 miles in 3 months. 2016 I thru hiked the Continental Divide Trail from the Mexican border to the Canadian border- going through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana taking a total of 4 1/2 months to complete. 2017-2018 I traveled around Europe, hiking GR trails in France, Spain, and Portugal. Spent 10 days in Morocco to experience a whole new culture. Wherever the wind takes me! 2019 brought me to Costa Rica! I volunteered to work in a very remote spot in the jungle. Amazing. 2019-2020 currently I’m in Sweden learning how to dog sled, and eventually I will make my way to Greece and Ireland before I return home in February. PHILOSOPHY Read Atlas Shrugged and Natural Born Heroes . And after that, I mainly strive to make myself happy and by doing that I can make others happy. I like to have morals and goals, but try to stay away from making rules for myself; things are constantly changing and no adventure goes as planned.
